Limited edition chairs: Emporium by Boca do Lobo

Design Limited Edition continues exploring limited edition modern chairs. Today, we bring you Boca do Lobo‘s Emporium, a piece that pushes the concept of a chair to new levels and blurs boudaries.

Design by Boca do Lobo’s head designer Marco Costa, this chair is inspired on the Surrealist movement. He has conceived this exclusive piece by questioning the notion of space, experimenting with material and playing with color. Emporium is a chair made in aluminum with a particular detail: it only has three legs!

A sense of fun and frivolity pervades in this chair, but this exclusive piece also manages to be sophisticated, thought provoking and (above all) finely handcrafted.
Perhaps Marco dares to create a design piece so eloquently because the focus of his approach is to explore the fragility of our humanity by revealing the beauty in imperfection. Marco felt it was about time to design a piece that made justice to the weakness that humankind is experiencing today.

An example of utmost level of both skill and imagination combined to create an exceptionally unique object that will stand out in any room.
